HELLARIOUS
"Glue" ft. Biz Markie.
"Scrape your back out" are the "nu classiks".
I didn't buy "Murder Musik" something didn't "feel" right about it.
they didnt feel it ENOUGH...
not sure how critically underrated. also I haven't listened to it in a while. i make such powerful, confident strokes.
Hell On Earth and Infamous yes.
but INFAMY and AMERIKAS NIGHTMARE !?! Are you seerious?!
my vote:
Rappin' Ron & Ant Diddly Dog - Bad N-Fluenz
Bay Area Gangsta rap with hard lyrics. Rappin Ron got down on this one but rarely gets rep. PH (playa hata) skit is mad funny.
girl: where my husband at anyway?
playa hata: yo husband, that nigga must have two wives I just dropped him off at his bitch house
girl: a bitch house oh is that right whats this bitch name
ph: shiiiittt I don't know I think her name was Laquisha...
girl: Laquisha that bitch he told me he been stop fucking with that ugly ass bitch
ph: aint that his baby mama
girl: what he got some mo babies, that scanless ass muthafucka I'm a kill him I thought that dick was mine
.....

I LIKE INFAMY....AMERIKAS NIGHTMARE IS KINDA ...BUT I'M SPEAKING ON MOBB DEEP'S CATALOGUE IN GENERAL
yea!
I'll give you everything BUT the second album (Infamous)... dudes name that as an all time favorite constantly, that is one of those 'touchstone' records of the 90s so there's no way it could be underrated
Decent production; embarassingly bad rapping
Polyrhythm Addicts
"Visualize" +remix
Rhapsody
"Do You Know My Mans And Em"
I'd like to add...
definately under-rated.
Xzibit - "At The Speed of Light"
Freestyle Fellowship "Inner City Griots"
Just a few...I'll be back.
Two reaffirmations:
Somehow this thread slid downwards from "under-rated hiphop albums" to "hip-hop albums that (arguably) aren't quite as bad as everyone says they are"...
I'll admit that I may have been the only person to truly enjoy this tape, much to the chagrin of all passengers in my car from 1990-1991.
Is there stuff on there that is better than the single? I thought that song was absolute fucking garbage, but I could see where it could have moments. Speak on it mang.
My brother and I enjoyed it, for about a week... "Aaaaaaaafro's!!" got old too quick and gone not fast enough.
To be honest, I only had the tape and can't find it now, so I'll just say that I found it to be funny and enjoyable 15 years ago. I don't really expect anyone here to cosign it, though. Like I said: private mind garden.
But I'm still feelin' "Feel It." There's a copy of the 12" at Groove Merchant under Josh B's picks right now!
